Figure 5From: A model combining cell physiology and population genetics to explain Escherichia coli laboratory evolutionEvolution during 10.000 generations. A. vs. time (generations). B. μ/μ0 vs. time (generations). The theoretical curves (—) result from the combination of equations (4) and (5). The parameter values used are ka 0 = 4.50, ka∞ = 1.95, r Ff = 1.0 × 10-3 and r fF = 1.0 × 10-4 (α v , β v , αμ and βμ as in Figure 4). The points (•) are the experimental results of cell volume and fitness reported for the population A-1[[2,, 28]].Back to article page
